If his strength lay in the length of hair this Frenchman would be a very Her- "cules. His beard measures ten foot ten and one-half inches in length, while his moustache is over a yard and a half Jong. Of course he has taken his time to eultivate these amazi adornments, as you may gother from the fact that he is seven tywix years of age. He is very proud of them, and this is perhaps one rea son among many why he does not permit the vulgar to gan on his grandour every day of the week. The inhabitants of Montelucon, in the de partment of Allier, where Coulon re sides, are very proud of him, and hy way ol acknowledging their apprecia tion, the "man with the unlimited beard exhibits his luxurious growth to all and sundry who care to come and see him any Sunday. Indeed, it may be said that for him the Sab bath is scarcely a day of rest, for 'when not on view he is carefully dross ing his amazing appendage and moustache, During the week ho iolls is beard in a sort of bag, =o that he may be able to go about his oocupa- tion the mote conveniently. ---------- Capt.

Great Floods In Manitoba--Dam- age Done. Napinka, Man, March 20.--{To the Editor) : The prairie at present is one large ocean. No matter where one looks it's water, and the more he 'ties to get around the sloughs the more he gets into it. All week there has been almost a contimnal down pour of rain, which has again chang ed to snow to-night, however, and a west Blizzard is threatened. Last Wednesday 1 had occasion to drive six miles over the prairie. The horses were almost all the way knee deep in water, while here and there they would go down twice as deep We had td stand on the seat on more than one place to keep dry feet. The river, which was at the time of the first rain full of ice, is now over flowing its banks on every low place Stacks of hay, which had been piled during the summer, are now to be seen with just the top above the wat er. As for the town itself, the streets are flooded from one end to the oth er. A comical thing was to be seen on Thursday morning. Our town wit Ww came down the street on a waggon-box using it as a raft. When asked why he didn't drive a horse or ride one, he said, he "had a team hitched to the waggonm, but all that could be seen was the box. The hors es were down there some place." All the cellars are flooded and sole stables are so badly flooded that the eattle had to be removed.--G.

The weather has been at no time severe and as very little snow fell, wheeling has been the mode of travelling, the roads as a rule being excellent. Having reached the middle of March in the enjoyment of such pleasant weather, our "breath" was literally 'taken away' by the firy of the mild winter's fare well. The worst storm within the re collection of the oldest inhabitants be gan March 14th, The wind rose and there being no snow the ground, drove great clouds of dust Before it During the day, the temperature drop ped and by evening a cold north wind vas having it "all its own way." All night the tempest raged and in the morning it was seen that a regular blizzard had set in. Well it was for man and beast that were in shelter, as for two days the storm con timed with increasing fury. The air was filled with snow, driven fiercely by the wind, «o that it was impossible to see farther than a few rods. All busi ness was suspended. No services were held in any of the churches on Sun day. At last on Monday morning the sun shone out brightly and the ef fects of "the storm were to be Thoroughfares were completely block ed and in many places great banks were piled against doors and windows A shovel brigade was formed and traf fic gradually got under motion, In the country, many fasmers had scarcely seen their stock during the storm. In some cases the animals were provided with food, but drink was denied. We heard of one farmer whose horses were snowed up in the stables and with the help of neighbors he worked until Tuesday evening and then only had a tunnel | The most serious results were the loss of cattle, that were exposed to- the storm. Several large dealers lost heavily. Another effect of the storm is seen in the floods on all lows lying lands. If plenty of snow is any indication of a good crop, we have the promise of it now, Before = the storm many farmers were harrowing and expected to begin seeding at once if the favorable weather continued. This vicinity is no exception to the prevalency of small-pox. Several mild cases are under tréatment. Dur ing the winter pneumonia and other diseases have been more common than i# usual in this healthful country. This has been attributed to the mild wea ther and lack of snow.

Reprimanded By Prince George-- \ Too Personal in Illustrating. New York, April 2.--Prof. Ranke, a leading Bavarian scientist, has "been officially reprimanded, says a Munich despatch to the Journal, for referring to the descent of man from the ape in the presence of prince George of Ba varia, who, to hake matters worse for Ranke, happened to-sttend the lecture in uniform, the prince being a lisuten ant 'in the lif~ guards. The statement to which prince George took exception was this : "Man's descent from the ape cannot be argued out of existence by the at tempt of army officers and women to squeeze in their waists by the use of corsets." Immediately aiterwards prince George strutted up to the professor and told him beiore a roomful of stu dents that he must not make shch derogatory statements in future, and that no matter where the' "people came from, his--that is the roval fam- ily of Bavaria--could not possibly be descr from an wnreasoning ani: mal, seeing that the Wittelbachers i placed on 'earth by Providence to Prof. Ranke was so much taken by surprise that he had not a word - to say in reply.
